KW’s Color Inspiration #48

48

I don’t usually do these challenges with a particular person in mind, but I thought I’d try it this time.  I like how it turned out, with the exception of the letters.  They looked cute all crooked-y until I assembled the card. :)

I do love these little letters, just not crooked.stamp_princess_birthdayStraight would look better, no? :)   Now I know for next time. ;)   Tee hee.

But I do love this paper, and how handy that it fit with the colors for the challenge this week! :)

Thanks for stopping by!,

I tried to veer away from the obvious “baby girl card” with these colors …

… but I failed.  Baby girl card it is! :)  I couldn’t resist the cuteness factor!!stamp_princess_butterfly01311

You can’t see it very well here, but the pink butterfly is made from the polka-dotted paper in the Sweet Always designer series paper.

Tootle-oo!

Here’s another one! :)

I had a hard time with these colors, but here is what I settled on.

I learned a few things with this one: most importantly, that I need a better ribbon variety!! :) Watch out ribbon, I’m coming for you … (especially all the new pretty ribbon in the NEW CATALOG coming out Monday!  Whoo!)
